The economic and ecological gain vs. physical risks

The primary gain lies in decentralized energy generation and the reduction of operating costs. However, this investment is exposed to specific, location-bound physical risks. Consider:

• Traffic damage: the location in a parking lot makes the installation vulnerable to collisions.
• Vandalism and theft: lower, more accessible installations than traditional roofs are an easier target for theft of panels or inverters.
• Prevention and quality: to guarantee the ROI, carports must be equipped with adequate collision protection (bollards/posts) and components must be secured to be vandal-resistant. This ensures the ROI is much better secured and stable over the long term.

The importance of an integrated insurance strategy

The insurance value of a carport is higher than the sum of its parts (structure + PV installation). A specialized insurer includes the location and preventive measures in the policy, resulting in better coverage and sometimes better terms. Demonstrating a robust risk plan is crucial for acceptance.

From risk to policy: the certainty for your Solar Carport

Due to the unique combination of construction, PV technology, and the risk of EV charging, a solar carport has risks that a standard policy does not cover. In addition to the risks already mentioned, think of complex damage from wind load or failure due to a fire at the charging point.
